From Days Gone By Feb. 25, 1922

February 25, 1922.
    Hon. J. Frank Rhodes, state game comissioner, has written a letter to each county game warden in the state this season, asking them to be on the lookout for violations of the game laws, and particularly the one which applies to killing and baiting of doves.
    The open season for doves ends February 1st according to the federal law, while the Georgia law puts it at March 1st. The federal authorities are going to enforce their law regarding the doves, and particularly the baiting of them and killing them in large numbers.
    County wardens are instructed to report any baiting in their counties. The letter to the wardens is as follows:
Dear Sir:
    "The times has arrived when you will find many people baiting fields, killing doves in large numbers and exceeding the bag limit, both of which is a violation of our laws.
    Be alert and see that all parties violating these laws are prosecuted. It is against the federal law to kill doves after January 31st, and the federal authorities are active in Georgia this year. They have requested all wardens if they find anyone killing doves in February to report same to federal warden, E. B. Whitehead, Thomasville, Georgia, who will reimburse any expences of securing evidence. Georgia laws allow doves to be killed up to the 1st of March. The federal government closes their season January 31st."
    The state capitol removal will be forced to a settlement this summer if plans of Gov. Hardwick mature. He says he wants it settled now so that improvements in the state capital may be made and the question stopped from bobbing up every time the state's property is mentioned. He is perfectly right about it. If the capitol is to be moved we will know about it and if it is to remain where it is then we'll also know that and the matter of making improvements and erecting a mansion may be gone into at will.
    Time and again the Headlight has called attention to the way the people of the good county treat their newspaper man, and knowing they grow no less weary about telling them of it than we do in carrying the item. We repeat the dose whenever the occasion arises.
    For almost six short years these good people have bestowed their goodness this way and their earnestness and sincerity overshadow what little besmirching there is flowing around if there be any. Friends are worth it all. While it takes money to run a printing office we value the good we see going on a whole lot more than one might suppose and dosen't do anything more than take a casual glance around annually.
